Objects of Desire: Treasures from Private Collections was an exhibition of
prime works selected from private collections in the region. Sponsored by
Freeman's 200, America's Oldest Auction House, the show provided a unique
opportunity to view more than 50 paintings, works of art on paper, sculpture,
and hand-crafted furnishings that are rarely on public display.

Among the works included were paintings by
Edward W. Redfield,
William L. Lathrop,
Daniel Garber,
Walter Elmer Schofield,
M. Elizabeth Price,
Clarence Holbrook Carter,
Lee Gatch,
B.J.O. Nordfeldt,
Charles F. Ramsey,
Paul Keene,
Pat Martin,
Vincent Ceglia and
Alan Goldstein; photographs by
Emmet Gowin and Michael Smith; and furniture by
Morgan Colt,
George Nakashima and
Paul Evans.
The show offered a glimpse into the world of fine art collecting, as well as
some of the artistic gems that reside in private collections throughout the region.
Bucks County is a fertile environment for collectors. The exhibition included
examples of both fine and decorative art created in the Bucks County region over
the last century, and preserved by individual collectors.
